 Try Sullivan instead March 12, 2008
Mohini (USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is poor. Try Michael Sullivan's books instead. This book doesn't show you how to do the majority of the problems. I'm mostly flipping through the pages, trying to find the techniques, formulas, etc... but they are not there. I need this book for class (homework), but I'm using Sullivan's books to actually learn the material. If you have to use this book (like me), don't get discouraged. The material isn't difficult (and it's actually enjoyable) if you learn it step by step. This book, unfortunately, is another representation of mathematicians trying to explain easy material in a needlessly complicated way. Get another book before thinking you're not a math person.
Does not include CD February 16, 2008

I bought this new here because the used listings mention that it may or may not included the CD. Well, guess what - the new version doesn't include the CD either - despite the misleading name of the series (MathXL Tutorials on CD Series).
Just a heads up. The one star review is to draw your attention to this fact. Otherwise, I have no knowledge of it's quality (I needed to buy it for my kid's independent study).
Horrible precalc book offers few examples February 15, 2008

This textbook is flat-out bad. It is supposed to serve as a transition between algebra to calculus, but it fails badly due to its inadequate explanations. Many of the problems are redundant, too hard, or too easy. Each section of each chapter offers VERY few examples, and these examples rarely correspond with the types of problems presented as practice. It is littered with typos, errors, answer mistakes, and a general feel of unprofessional publishing. The formulas and important "boxed concepts" or equations are often written in an excessively complicated manner. Where it needs to be concise, it drones on excessively. Where it needs an in-depth explanation, it skips over the issue. I used this WHOLE book through junior year and found it very unhelpful. Do not buy it.

ONLY ONE WORD CAN DISCRIDE THIS BOOK - DISGUSTING. I HAD TO WIPE IT DOWN WITH ALCOHOL, BEFORE MY DAUGHTER TOUCH IT.

I was trying to get the textbook, ended up with the "Solution Manual". If it was indicated somewhere in the description, it was very well hidden!How about including this crucial information in the title?!!
